Is your spouse your best friend?
How privilege
you are if the answer is “Yes.”
Perhaps an
even more important
question to
ask is this: “Are you a good friend to your spouse?”
in being a
good friend, you very often gain a best friend!
A true friend
is someone
to whom you
can empty your heart
a heart often
made to feel “full”
by many
different sources of passion, concern, or worry.
Francis Bacon
once wrote:
“We known
diseases of stopping and suffocation
are the most
dangerous in the body;
and it is not
much to otherwise in the mind:
you may take
sarza to open the liver,
steel to open
the spleen,
flower to
sulphur for the lungs, castoreum for brain;
but no receipt
openeth the heart
but a true
friend, to whom you may impart grief,
joys, fears,
hopes, suspicions,
counsels and
whatsoever lieth upon
the heart to
oppress it, in a kind of civil shrift or confusion.”
One of the
best gifts
you can give
your spouse and your children
is listening
ears.
Be a friend to
the four C’s:
Compassion,
Caring,
Consideration
Caring,
Consideration
and Comfort.
Those four
traits never grow old or fall out of fashion.
